Are these pistons of any use in our slant 6 engines?
Looks like they would drastically lower CR. Slants 1.74" vs Cadillacs 1.63" compression heights, not to mention the Caddys dish.

The 3.465 bore size works but the 1.63 compression height (+ dish) and the .865 piston pin size are not a good match.

You could make these work with a 198 rod and/or with lots of block/head milling, but otherwise Doug is right.
